GRETA THUNBERG

DAVID ATTENBOROUGH

"It's surely our responsibility to do everything within our power to create a planet that provides a home not just for us, but for all life on Earth."

"In our hands now lies not only our own future but that of all other living creatures with whom we share the Earth."

"No one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced."

"We are the cleverest creatures to have ever lived on Earth. But if we are to continue to exist, we will require more than intelligence. We will require wisdom."

"The final chapter is ours to write. We know what we need to do. What happens next is up to us."

"Nature is our biggest ally and our greatest inspiration... If we take care of nature, nature will take care of us."

Jane Goodall

Key Themes from Dr. Jane Goodall

• Individual Impact: "Each one of us matters, has a role to play, and makes a difference."
• Environmental Connection: "Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved."
• Actionable Hope: Goodall emphasizes that when empowered, people can change the world, and that our actions inspire others."
• “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
• “In order to slow down climate change, we must solve four seemingly unsolvable problems. We must eliminate poverty. We must change the unsustainable lifestyles of so many of us. We must abolish corruption. And we must think about our growing human population…But I believe we have a window of time to have an impact.”
• “If we all get together, we can truly make a difference, but we must act now. The window of time is closing.”
